Configuring Mozilla fonts (firefox and thunderbird)

Mozilla Firefox

In FireFox:

Click the ‘Edit‘ menu and select ‘Preferences’.

Select the ‘Content‘ tab at the top, and under “Fonts & Colors”, click ‘Advanced...’

Set the following fonts:

Proportional: Serif Size: 16

Serif: Georgia

Sans-serif: Verdana

Monospace: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Size: 14

 

Click ‘OK‘

On high resolution monitors, web page text in Firefox may seem a bit small. An excellent add-on is the No Squint plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592. I like to have my text set at 110%, but your preferences may vary. Some sites don’t scale as well as others with the enlarged text, but you can always use CTRL and + or – to make the text larger or smaller for those sites.

Mozilla Thunderbird

In ThunderBird:

Click the ‘Edit‘ menu and select ‘Preferences‘.

Select the ‘Display‘ tab at the top, and under “Fonts & Encodings”, click ‘Fonts…’

Set the following fonts:

Proportional: Serif Size: 16

Serif: Georgia

Sans-serif: Verdana

Monospace: Lucida Sans typewriter Size: 14
